Converting from svn to bzr?

[Patrick van der Velde]

Hi All

I've been trying to convert an old SVN repository to a bzr branch
however I'm not having much luck. I grabbed the latest release (bzr
1.12.1) and installed that successfully. With that I tried to use the
bzr-svn command by entering the command: bzr svn-import PATH_TO_REPO
trunk
Unfortunately that failed with a windows error message saying:
bzr.exe - Entry point not found: The procedure entry point
__lc_collate_cp_func could not be located in the dynamic link library
msvcrt.dll

And the stack trace was:

D:\documents\petrik\support\backup\software\mcs>bzr svn-import
svn://localhost/Research/PhdThesis/software/trunk trunk
bzr: ERROR: exceptions.ImportError: Unable to load subvertpy
extensions - did you build it?

Traceback (most recent call last):

*** Bazaar has encountered an internal error.
    Please report a bug at https://bugs.launchpad.net/bzr/+filebug
    including this traceback, and a description of what you
    were doing when the error occurred.


After that I tried bzr-fastimport but that confused me completely. I
managed to grab the latest version and add that to the bzr plugin
directory but I can't seem to figure out how to get it started.The
section of the help file explaining how to start it is way over my
head and if I use the same command line as in the manual windows
simply complains that the exporter I mentioned isn't a known
application.

So if anybody has some suggestions on how to approach this that would
be very helpful :)

Thanks heaps
